The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
  • Various inventive features are described below that can each be used independently of one another or in combination with other features.
  • Broadly, embodiments of the present invention generally provide a medical garment including fabric fitted for an upper torso of a patient whereby a separable length is formed in the fabric with snap strips fastened along sides of the separable length, which may be used by the patient when dressing and undressing, and during examinations by healthcare professionals. Aspects of the present invention may be used by patients undergoing treatment or suffering from injuries including orthopedic injuries (e.g., broken limbs, rotator cuff tears, shoulder and elbow replacements), stroke, respiratory or cardiac conditions, neck and back injuries (e.g., chronic injuries, patients with a HALO device), mastectomy and other breast conditions, cancer, chemotherapy, dialysis, Alzheimer, spinal conditions, Parkinson's disease, paralysis, arthritic conditions, and nursing mothers. The patient may be first introduced to this medical garment after discarding the hospital gown.
  • Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, an oblique perspective view of a medical garment 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in use in a snapped and a partially unsnapped configuration, respectively. Medical garment 10 may be suitable for wearing on an upper torso by a patient (e.g., as a shirt or a gown), and may have a fabric 12 configured to have a collar 20, a sleeve 21, and a bottom opening 26. Fabric 12 may be separable along a length 19 that may run between collar 20 and sleeve 21, which may form a split portion of sleeve 21. Length 19 may have a first strip 14 a and a second strip 14 b assembled to corresponding separated sides of the split portion of sleeve 21. First and second strips 14 a, 14 b, may include fastening tape or snap tape, for example, which may have two sides having elements that may be selectively fastened together. First strip 14 a may have a plurality of male snap elements 16 a along a length thereof, and second strip 14 b may have a plurality of female snap elements 16 b along a length thereof.
  • Fabric 12 may be separable along a second length 23 that may run between sleeve 21 and bottom opening 26 of fabric 12, which may form a split portion in fabric 12. Second length 23 may have a third strip 15 a and a fourth strip 15 b assembled to corresponding separated sides of the split portion of fabric 12. Third strip 15 a may have a plurality of male snap elements 18 a along a length thereof, and fourth strip 15 b may have a plurality of female snap elements 18 b along a length thereof. Third and fourth strips 15 a, 15 b may include fastening tape or snap tape.
  • Referring now to FIG. 3, a top plan view of medical garment 10 is shown. Fabric 12 may be configured to have a sleeve 22 opposite sleeve 21. First and second strips 14 a,b may be configured to be complementary, and may have roughly identical, lengths. Third and fourth strips 15 a,b may be configured to be complementary and may have roughly identical lengths. An entire side of medical garment 10 may be open or accessible when strips 14 a,b and 15 a,b are in an unsnapped configuration, which may aid in a dressing or undressing of a patient, or access to the patient by a healthcare professional.
  • Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, a detailed side perspective view of snaps 16 a,b and 18 a,b of strips 14 a,b and 15 a,b are shown in an unsnapped and snapped configuration respectively. Strips 14 a, 15 a may have a plurality of male snap elements 16 a, 18 a respectively, and strips 14 b, 15 b may have a plurality of female snap elements 16 b, 18,b respectively.
